Course types
Build your online course the way you want
Do you want to sell an online course? Or maybe an online course with a community (or coaching sessions)? Or a cohort-based course? What if you want to bundle a course with your other products, or offer upsells? Podia gives you the tools to launch the online course that’s right for you.
Standalone course
Create your online courses with any kind of content you like, including text, images, videos, audio files, MP3, links, PDF, PSD, quizzes, and more.
Drip courses
Deliver your course content to your students section-by-section set to a schedule of your choosing.
Bundle of courses

Pre-launch courses
Test ideas and collect emails before investing in and launching your latest course.

I really love how simple and user-friendly Podia is to use. Website design is not my strong suit yet I have learned how to build and edit my Body by Brigett website plus add my courses for clients to purchase! I am excited to add even more coaching programs and trainings. I feel like I have endless opportunities.
